Turkish forces shell Syrian air base captured by Kurds

BEIRUT, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Turkish forces on Saturday
shelled a Syrian air base and a village captured by Kurdish
fighters from insurgents in recent days in northern Syria, the
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.

A Kurdish official confirmed the shelling of Menagh air base
in the northern Aleppo countryside, which he said had been
captured by the Kurdish-allied Jaysh al-Thuwwar group rather
than the Kurdish YPG militia.

Both are part of the Syria Democratic Forces alliance.

There was no immediate comment from Turkey.
